Ji Tang

Chapter 910: Rabbit Dead Fox Sadness?

There was too much quietness under the palace in the middle of the night, with lights flickering in between. Most of the palace residents had gone to bed, but the Tai Chi Hall was brightly lit at this moment. Li Shimin, who was known as the Khan of Heaven from all over the world, was still burning the midnight oil to fight and approve. This is like a mountain of memorials.

At this time, Chen Shou brought in someone. Their steps were light, as if they were afraid of disturbing the emperor.He didn't say anything when he came to the Imperial Case, but waited quietly!
After an unknown amount of time, Li Shimin stretched his waist and looked down.

"How are things going?"

Chen Shou stepped forward to pour tea for the emperor, and the people below bowed their heads and said: "Reporting to your majesty, more than [-]% of the basic businesses of the people in Guanzhong have now been handed over, and the land holdings have also been reduced to no less than two thousand hectares."

"I'm here to ask your Majesty whether you want to continue?"

After saying that, he lowered his head even lower. Facing the person above him, he did not hesitate to face him in the most humble manner.

"Ok!"

Li Shimin pondered for a moment and said: "That's almost it. If it continues, some people may jump over the wall."

"You will be broken into pieces immediately after you go down, and you can't give those people any excuses. Also tell the people below that you did a good job this time, and the rewards will come in a few days."

"Go!"

Li Shimin waved his hand. The visitor did not raise his head from beginning to end. He bowed and left the hall.

Picking up the account book that Chen Shou gave him, Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, then came to the lamp and lit it until it was completely reduced to ashes, and then he stopped!

"Go ahead and shut your mouths. If you can't control them, help them yourself!"

Chen Shou trembled all over and said quickly: "No!"

After looking up for a long time, he suddenly smiled as he thought of something.

"Secretly infiltrating Chen Cang, taking me by surprise, hiding the truth from the truth, and asking you to put yourself in a urn. Who makes you too greedy?"

Then he put the matter aside, picked up the memorial about the Southern Sea Trade, and continued reading!

Solitary House.

When Dugu Mou heard what the old housekeeper said, he was suddenly shocked and broke into a cold sweat. He murmured: "Who else but that person can do such a big deal? Who else but that person would dare to do this?"

"What a generous move. Now those guys who want to eat meat not only cannot eat the meat, but also suffer heavy losses. He is really tolerant!"

Then he said: "Ji Song, this matter has nothing to do with him."

The old housekeeper was stunned and asked in confusion: "What does this have to do with Ji Song? His Ji family has really withdrawn from Guanzhong? These properties have also been given away. If he dares to withdraw openly, he will withdraw in private. Acquisition, can the emperor spare him?"

Dugumou smiled bitterly: "He really didn't dare, but what if he told the emperor about this in advance? Don't forget, the queen holds some of the largest business houses in the Tang Dynasty, and they have expanded greatly in recent years. With their It’s not difficult to eat these if you’re big enough!”

"Are they still making acquisitions now?"

Dugumou thought of something and said.

"It's strange to say that just after Ji Song returned to Chang'an, these people stopped moving. At that time, I thought they didn't want to offend Ji Song, but now it seems that they made an agreement in advance!"

At this time, the old housekeeper also reacted. Thinking of this, he felt a chill in his heart.Ji Song informed the emperor of the matter in advance, or maybe these properties were given directly to the emperor, otherwise it would not have been received so quickly, but the Ji family did not send any news!
"Have you thought of it too?"

The old housekeeper nodded solemnly.

"I'm not as good as Ji Songduo!"

"If you give up all the wealth, who can be calm about it? This is much better than self-destruction."

When Dugu Mou thought about the wealth involved, even he felt frightened.But what I saw last night, how could Ji Song look like he was reluctant to part with him?Thinking of Ji Song's ability to turn stone into gold, he felt relieved.Maybe he can do this if he has the ability to gather and disperse thousands of gold!
"Isn't that the ranch he was talking about?"

The old housekeeper thought of something and turned pale.

Dugu Mou shook his head and said: "No, since Ji Song agreed, there will be no problem. But just in case, I will send money to the Duke of Xi's Mansion early tomorrow morning to make this matter real. Even if there is an accident, Ji will be the first to say so."

"The old slave understands!"

Zheng's villa.

Zheng Xuanxu also got the news, but he didn't take it seriously. Although he didn't say anything last night, at their level, there was no need to talk about such trivial matters.

No, today Ji sent a directory, and the properties on it were chosen by Zheng.

"This, this, and this, you will send someone to pick it up tomorrow and bring enough money from the house. Since the Ji family has done so openly, we, the Zheng family, cannot lag behind others."

He pulled down a few properties he liked and told the housekeeper.

"I understand, I will go there in person tomorrow!"

Zheng Xuanxu nodded and waved him out!

Not only the Zheng family, but also everyone who has friendship with the Ji family has been given a list of names, and each list is different. There are good and bad ones in it. The purpose is obvious, which is to let them choose by themselves.

Duke Lu's Mansion.

Mrs. Cui looked at the directory in her hand, especially when she saw the few properties that she had already been coveting, and she was so excited that she almost jumped out of her chest.

"If you want to choose, hurry up and pick, but you can only pick three items. The others will be sent back."

Cheng Yaojin was furious when he saw Cui's unseen appearance. For some reason, he felt inexplicably irritable when he saw the list, as if he was taking advantage of Ji Song!
Cui rolled her eyes: "This was sent by Brother Song, and we didn't steal it. What's the point of being embarrassed about? Besides, even if we don't want it, we can only take advantage of those outsiders. It's better to leave it to us." Good home.”

After speaking, he came closer to Cheng Yaojin and whispered: "Head of the family, is it really true that the Ji family is split up like this? It's a pity when I think about my concubine. If this develops for a few years, even my mother-in-law's Cui family won't be able to catch up. Why? Is it split?"

Cheng Yaojin didn't know where the anger came from. He stood up and said angrily: "Don't demolish it? If you don't demolish it, will your family be ruined?"

"You have to pick the one who is quick, I am upset when I see it!"

After saying that, he planned to go out for a walk, ignoring Ms. Cui’s scolding behind him!After walking out of the door, he didn't know where to go, so he just found a random direction and walked forward.I don’t know how long I walked, but when I looked up, I saw that I was in front of a restaurant.

"Waiter, bring me some good wine and some good dishes!"

Cheng Yaojin thought to himself that he didn’t know where to go anyway, so he would just get drunk and rest!

"Okay! Guest sir, please come in!"

Cheng Yaojin came to the second floor, but as soon as he came up, he heard a familiar voice. He turned around and saw that Li Jing and Wei Zheng were drinking there by the window!

"Why are you here?"

Cheng Yaojin was stunned, what a coincidence!

"Old Cheng?"

Li Jing and Wei Zheng were also stunned. Li Jing originally came first, and then met Wei Zheng. The two of them started drinking together without thinking much.But who would have thought that not long after they sat down, they saw Cheng Yaojin coming up. Even if they said it was a chance encounter, some people would believe it!

"Why are you together?"

After sitting down and asking the waiter to leave, Cheng Yaojin opened his mouth and almost made the two of them angry to death!
"Why can't we drink together? It's you, why are you out too?"

Li Jing said angrily.

Although Wei Zheng said nothing, he could still see the confusion in his eyes!

"What else could it be? Ji Song sent me a list. Seeing my mother-in-law's joy in choosing it, I felt an unknown fire rising in my heart. If I don't come out, I'll have to have a big fight with that person at home!"

After saying that, he picked up the bowl and took a big gulp of wine, which covered his beard and collar.

Wei Zheng and Li Jing looked at each other and started drinking too!
"Why don't you speak?"

Then he opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief: "You don't know how?"

"Yes, we have also received it. Not only us, but everyone who has anything to do with the Ji family has received it. This may be the private goods that Ji Song brought with him. He just doesn't want to give someone an advantage!

Wei Zheng's face turned a little dark, and everyone knew who he was talking about.In their opinion, this time the person took advantage of Dafa.

They have been doing business with Ji's family for these years. Others don't know it, but do they know how huge Ji's industry is?
Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about the Guanzhong territory. Although Ji Song himself is only a member of a few perfume shops and a dozen restaurants, he can’t bear the amount of industry owned by the Ji clan!
Not to mention other things, the butcher shop run by Ji's Jishan and Ji Hu controls the source of meat for millions of people in Guanzhong.The wealth generated in a year, if not overestimated, is not worth 10,000+ yuan.

In the past ten years, the tax revenue alone has been no less than tens of thousands of dollars every year. This is the result of Ji Song's initiative to increase taxes on high-income industries.

And Ji Liuniang’s silk reeling industry is exported overseas every year. Which year doesn’t it make a lot of money?Which of the huge industrial workshops behind Ji's Zhuangzi is not priceless?But these are all cheaper than that one.

boom!
Cheng Yaojin slammed the bowl on the table and said angrily: "Why? Why should the inheritance that you have worked so hard to save have to be given away to others? Is there any justice in this?"

"What happened to wealth? You earned it through your own ability, and you didn't steal or rob it. Why should you be afraid? It's fine now. The huge Ji family was torn to pieces by Ji Song. Look at where they all went. Where? Not to mention the one in Xuanzhou, if Ji Song cannot protect his own son, I will look down on him. But what about going to Lingnan, Liaodong, the Western Regions, and the Southwest? "

"He's scared!"

Wei Zheng opened his eyes and said expressionlessly.

"I discussed this issue with Ji Song a long time ago. Unlimited imperial power can only plunder, not only other countries, but the common people, ministers, and dignitaries are all the objects of plunder by imperial power."

"Why did the royal family of the former Han Dynasty have a reputation of being mean and unkind? Isn't it just disorderly plundering without restraint? When there are no checks and balances on imperial power, no one has the possibility to say 'no'."

Li Jing's eyes shrank, Cheng Yaojin broke out in a cold sweat and woke up instantly!

Just listen to Wei Zheng continue to say: "Ji Song is like this. He seems to be unparalleled in favor, but he probably can't sleep at night. Who would have thought that a little Ji family could save something that others could not match in hundreds of years. wealth?"

"It's okay that Ji Song is alive. With his ability and wisdom, he is enough to save the family. But what if he is gone? Can Ji's clan with so few direct descendants keep these wealth?"

After saying that, everyone fell silent. The biggest reason why Cheng Yaojin felt irritable when he saw the directory Ji Song sent was that the huge Ji family was gone. What about his own home?How could the rabbit not be touched by the sadness of the fox's death?
Li Jing said in a deep voice: "Ji Song is a smart boy. A strong man will give it up when he wants to. How many people can give up such a huge wealth? Anyway, I can't let go of my family fortune. If you dare to imitate Ji Song, don't say anything else. My son can even rebel against me."

Wei Zheng also said: "Am I still the same? The children in the family are useless, and the head of the house has become a daughter-in-law. If I hadn't been suppressing him now, I don't know what would have happened!"

Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin comforted others in a rare way: "Don't take it too seriously. At least Shuyu is not a bad boy. He was trained by Ji Song when he was at Sinong Temple. Now he is sent to the local area to serve as a governor at a young age. You’ll become an important minister of the imperial court, that’s it!”

"I can't do it anymore. That bastard, the virgin, is a stubborn ass. I wanted him to study literature, but he didn't live up to expectations. He hasn't studied in the past few years, but he has good skills. Now I don't want to be a bodyguard by His Majesty's side. He has wronged him. , what do you mean that all the force is useless?"

"Listen, is this what a human said? I beat this beast so hard without saying a word that he didn't get out of bed for three days."

Cheng Yaojin hated iron and said: "I have been fighting on the battlefield all my life, and only then have I accumulated my current family fortune. Isn't it just to let my descendants live a good life? But this guy doesn't appreciate it. He says that he will be rewarded immediately If he takes it, he will have to be wrapped in horse leather and return it to death. If he had [-]% of Ji Song's ability, I wouldn't say anything. He can do whatever he wants. But this kid is just a brainless guy, and he doesn't have a lot of cleanliness. "

Li Jing nodded in agreement. Anyone who has been on the battlefield knows what the battlefield is like.Cruel, cruel, cold-blooded, bloody, ruthless, these are just the tip of the iceberg!
No one can guarantee eternal victory. If you are not careful, you will die.

"I wonder what that kid Ji Song saw? He resolutely gave up most of the property division, and completely divided it. More than 200 households in Ji's Zhuangzi have become branch families, and they have gone to various places to establish branch families."

"And I also heard that the boy plans to have his eldest son stay alone in Guanzhong in the future. The second son will be assigned to the south. The third son will be sent out when he is still learning to walk. When he grows up, he will go out to establish the Ji family branch. And In the future, if there are sons, they will also be separated. This is to completely separate the Ji family!"

Wei Zheng thought thoughtfully and said, "Where did this information come from? Logically speaking, this information is Ji's secret. How did you know about it?"

Cheng Yaojin also looked at Li Jing, but his eyes were a little incomprehensible!

Li Jing rolled his eyes: "What are you thinking about? Who do you think I am? Besides, even if you have the intention, you have to have the ability! How can you not know about Ji's situation?"

"It was because a member of the Ji family was dissatisfied with Ji Song's arrangement and was driven to Chang'an to settle down. They spilled the beans after being drunk, and then the news spread!"

Wei Zheng and Cheng Yaojin were relieved, but Wei Zheng's eyes were a little wandering, as if he was thinking of something.

But then he said as if nothing was wrong: "Okay, why do you care so much? Anyway, I only have a few things in my house, and I guess others won't like it. Come on, drink, drink!"

Cheng Yaojin and Li Jing looked at each other and said nothing. They started drinking and eating, and they didn't go home drunk until the evening.

As for being complained by family members, there is no need to say more!
